Trucking Along Window

 So, I've had a request for a "red truck" card! So, I combined 2 cards I had seen to create this "red truck" card that also uses the Something Fancy Dies and the Glorious Gingham DSP! I just love it! We'll be doing this in class next week! Enjoy!!


Measurements:  

  • Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, scraps
  • Glorious Gingham (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (Blueberry Bushel), 1/2" x 4" strip (inside)
To Make This Card

  • Using "green glue", adhere DSP piece to folded White card front.
  • Die cut "window" from front of card using the largest die shown from the Something Fancy Dies. Toss the cut out piece.
  • Stamp "truck" outline through the window in Memento Black ink. Now is the time to add whatever you would like to your truck.. I also "grounded" the truck using the "ground" stamp and stamped off Pecan Pie.
  • Next, stamp another "truck" outline in Memento Black ink onto a scrap of White cardstock. Also, stamp the "truck" Real Red, the tires Memento Black, and sign on the door, if desired.
  • Punch out with Truck Builder Punch and adhere to card, through window with Dimensionals.
  • Now, stamp sentiment in Real Red onto scrap of White cardstock.  Die cut with label  from the new Wonderful Thoughts dies.
  • Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
  • On inside, stamp greeting in Real Red and add a strip of coordinating DSP.

Mystery Stamping - 2 Rectangles and a Focal Point #3

 I just love the possibilities of this layout!  So, I grabbed the Fresh as a Daisy DSP and coordinating dies and created this cardfor class next week! I love the Copper Clay and Boho Blue color combination along with the cheerful daisies! I hope they like it!


Measurements:  

  • Copper Clay (N): 1/2 sheet, 1 3/4" x 3", 2 1/4" x 3 3/4", 2 3/4" square (daisy base)
  • Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 3/4" x 2 1/4", 2 3/4" square (daisy)
  • Fresh as a Daisy (N): 1 1/2" x 2 3/4", 2" x 3 1/2", 1/2" x (5 1/4) or (4") strip, 2 1/2" square 
To Make This Card

  • Emboss one White layer and the 2 DSP pieces with desired Embossing Folder. I used the Cane Weave Embossing Folder.
  • Attach the White piece to folded Copper Clay card.
  • Attach each embossing DSP piece to its' corresponding layer. 
  • For this card my "focal point" is a die cut "daisy".  I decided to use the largest daisy and all 3 layers, but you can use whatever you'd like.
  • Assemble daisy.
  • Next, decide how you would like to arrange the 3 components on your card.  The choice is yours!
  • I decided on a landscape orientation, so I attached the larger rectangle to the left, and overlapped the smaller one on top, with Dimensionals.  
  • Then, I added the "daisy" also with Dimensionals.
  • I decided that I wanted a sentiment afterall, and stamped it in Copper Clay ink and added to the smaller rectangle.
  • Finish with InColor Dots.

Autumn Leaves Fractured Card

Playing with the awesome All About Autumn DSP tonight!  Beautiful paper, no wonder it's already on back order.  I need to get more when it comes back in! I used the pumpkins for my background and strips of some of the gorgeous foiled paper for the strips and one of the leaves. I love these fractured cards!


Measurements:  

  • Mossy Meadow: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • All About Autumn DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" & 1/2" x 4"  (Pumpkins); 4 strips @ 1/4" x 4", scrap (Mossy Meadow print foil)
  • Vanilla: 2" square, 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
  • Gold Foil: scrap
  • Copper Foil: scrap
To Make This Card:

  • Center Vanilla square (or whatever focal point you are using) to the DSP. DO NOT ADHERE TO FRONT OF CARD, YET.
  • Next, take one 1/4" Mossy Meadow foil strip and lay from corner of square, along the cut edge of the square, and off the DSP layer. 
  • Then, lay the next strip, butting the end to the previously laid strip, and laying this one also along cut edge and off the DSP.  Repeat until all 4 layers are done.
  • Next, trim off the strips so that they are even with the DSP.
  • NOW, adhere the DSP layer to the folded Mossy Meadow card.
  • Decide what your focal point is going to be.  I used a 3 leaves from the Autumn Leaves Dies with a little bow.
  • Lastly, adhere the Vanilla piece inside. I like to add a strip of coordinating DSP to the inside.
